This property is an excellent venue for celebrating family birthdays. It was clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and furniture. However the photos on the site do not show the excellent outside gathering space not th e improvements too the conservatory. We hope to return at a future date.

We stayed at The Willows in September 2018 to celebrate a family birthday. Our party size of 20 ranged from 6-75 year olds, and the house accommodates for all. The house itself is very clean and spacious, with all bedrooms having a toilet, and most having a shower. The dining area is vast, with plenty of seating to accommodate all our guests around the table. The lounge area is home to many sofas and a huge TV. But it was the outside gardens that we all enjoyed most, plenty of space to enjoy games, such as rounders, badminton, cricket etc, with a separate field containing 2 football goals, which was very popular with the children. A very nice seating / patio area with a gazebo was great for those watching the games, as the weather was kind to us. However, it was the swimming pool that the children enjoyed most. A decent enough size, packed full of inflatables. An excellent weekend was had, with all who attended very happy with the choice of property.

“Just returned from a great family,fun filled, post Christmas weekend at the Willows. The property, directions and key collection were great. The property was clean with lots of cleaning extras like washing powder and fabric conditioner available. The pool was good but in a rather uninviting barn where condensation was dripping from green slimy beams into the pool itself. A great outdoor space for dogs to run around and even dog towels provided which was a nice touch. Our only problem was the kitchen electric kept tripping when the oven was on as we tried to cook a meal for 15 hungry adults. Easily fixed but inconvenient! Another useful extra could be a hose pipe outside for washing muddy dogs and boots. Otherwise nice location, helpful owners and good car parking.”

We have just returned from The Willows after a fantastic weeks holiday. The house comfortably accommodated all 17 of us with ample car parking, garden space and room to spread out in the property. We made use of the bbq provided and the children spent at least 2 hours each day enjoying the heated pool. Washing machine and tumble drier were a lifesaver for a quick turnaround on soggy swimming costumes and towels!! Zip and link beds were brilliant for being able to customise the rooms for each group and were honestly the comfiest beds we've ever slept in away from home. Thank you for a fab week... highly recommend!!

My family and I stayed at the Willows last weekend and I would highly recommend it. The setting is idyllic and the gardens are kept beautifully.The house is really spacious, tastefully decorated and well equipped. The pool is fantastic. Perfect temperature all the time. Our kids spent most of the weekend in there and asked if we can rent the house forever! It was the perfect place for a family gathering.
